Coles included in All Blacks training squad

By: Nigel Yalden | Latest Rugby News | Monday July 30 2012 3:12

 

Hurricanes hooker Dane Coles has been included in the 28-man All Blacks Wider Training squad for a two day camp in Wellington this week.

All Black coach Steve Hansen says Coles has been included so they could get a close up look at the young man, as part of the on-going search for new talent.

The 25-year-old hooker was again excellent around the field during Super Rugby and showed improvements in his scrummaging and tight play, but still struggled to find consistency with his lineout throwing.

The squad also includes the injured trio of Conrad Smith, Luke Romano and Ali Williams, while Zac Guildford and Hosea Gear retain their spots having been added to the original training squad back in May.
